During the Maelstrom confrontation in the Heist setup
Don't rescue Brick, don't kill Royce - Royce and Dum Dum
Rescue Brick, dont kill Royce - Royce and Dum Dum
Rescue Brick, Kill Royce - Brick
Don't rescue Brick, Kill Royce - Patricia
If Brick is there, he lets you and Nancy leave with no trouble. If Royce and Dum Dum are there, you can stealth or shoot your way out. If Patricia is there, your only option is to shoot your way out.
Shooting your way through Royce and Dum Dum during Second Conflict is the only way to get the Doom Doom iconic revolver if you're trying to catch em all.

Cyberpunk is based on Hardwired and Blade Runner. Pondsmith didn't even read Neuromancer til after he released the game. He also drew stuff from Bubblegum Crisis which is why I ended up watching that as well.

and in case that was a serious question, Johnny Mnemonic is based off a short story of the same name by William Gibson.
No, Johnny Mnemonic was written by William Gibson himself.

Johnny Mnemonic is based on one of Gibson's short stories that came out before Neuromancer, in the same universe.

Johnny Mnemonic the story and the movie almost have nothing to do with each other other than the setting. Then again, it's been 20 years since I read most of Gibson's work, though I have read effectively everything Gibson published. The shared universe, when I'm playing Cyberpunk, is virtually identical to what I pictured in my mind when I was reading his shit back in high school.
The Dollhouse comes from Neuromancer. But it was a more virtual experience, in a small box. The concept in the game is a bit more cerebral. Dollhouse the show, is a bit of a spinoff in another direction.
ICE, and all that cybersecurity shit was in Neuromancer. AI is something I expected to play a larger part of the story, but alas, it was more Ghost in the Shell.
Corner stores being replaced by vending machines feels a bit dated... Surprised there's not a 3D printer based supplier device in the game, like the human body printing machine at the end of one of Gibson's novels, sorta like Fallout 4 and Westworld.

In the RPG artificial organs and shit were super expensive compared to just getting cybernetics.

a lot of the themes of Cyberpunk are kinda dated because their settings all originally diverged back in the 80s/90s in ways that haven't come true in the 30+ years since the settings were created.
It's really hard to imagine North America turning into the Cyberpunk 2077 setting in just 50 years.

Yeah, at this point we're on track for some sort of unholy mash-up of Idiocracy and Demolition Man.

I mean, ask William Gibson? He wrote the story. I don't think he based it off anything since he pretty much made the genre.

I watched gremlins 2 a few weeks ago and thought "There's no fucking way that 'Clamp' isn't based on Trump". Was watching Johnny Mnemonic today and thought the same thing. Just the plot in general is damn close to CP2077, then there's stuff like the loteks/nomads, Viktor/Henry Rollins.....even the strobe lights in the Ripperdoc chair (before being patched) were in the movie.
I don't know any of the references you guys are making other than Blade Runner.
